Post Put New Spark In Your Lovelife


My love affair seemed to be going ok, and she started whenever I asked, but I thought I'd check on the spark that keeps us going. The specs on the Mercruiser 6.2 call for AC spark plugs, #41-932. I haven't had her since new, but with the hours and look of the plugs, I'm guessing these are factory originals.



I plan to love this gal for a few years, so I figured I'd treat her to shiny new sparklers. Gals go crazy for shiny stuff. The 41-932 which I believe were Platinum, are no longer availabl ...

Post Best Marine Varnish


Who makes it? I've had boats my whole life, but none had any wood so this is not something I know a whole lot about. Back in the day (60's) my Dad had a 26' Owens that was all mahogany, and back in those days it was just a plain old varnish that didn't last very long. I'm sure that in the last 50 years that leaps and bounds have been made in this area especially dealing with UV. What are ya'll using?

Post Brand New Boat Owner, with Carver 2276


Hello,



We just got out first boat!! It's a 1977 Carver Camper 2276. Where can I get an owner's manual? I have searched online and haven't found one yet.



I have a bunch of really dumb newbie questions I am trying to find the answers to, along with just learning more about our boat.



How do we drain the gray water? I don't know all of the switches on the control panel. Some are pretty self explanatory, some are not, at least not for a brand new boat owner like us. It is still sitting in our fron ...

Post Carver 466 - charging house batteries via generator?


On our 2003 Carver 466 we have 2 8D house batteries which run the fridge and ice maker via the inverter if we want for a short period of time. When we first leave the slip it will run them for about 6 hours then we have to go to the generator. Question for other 466 owners: does the generator charge the house batteries when running or not? Ours appear to only charge fully back up when we get back on shore power as we spent the last 4 days out and after the first 6 hour discharge, even after runn ...

Post New Carver 2687 Owner


Hi, my name is Doug and I am currently in the middle of purchasing a 1984 Carver 2687 Monterey through a broker and it should be mine in a couple of weeks. I just retired in Jan. from my job of 42 years, so I have lots of time on my hands to do a complete restoration on the boat and then hit the Intracoastal Waterway. I'm sure I'll have tons of questions and I hope I can offer some advice along the way.

Post Boat polish or paint?


Ahoy:
I own a 1989 Carver Monterey cabin cruiser.
The last couple of years the shine has faded more and more especially on the long blue strip along the sides.
I have tried several polishes and recently a rubbing compound with no luck. Last year I took it to an auto body shop, which helped for a while but still faded after a few weeks on the water.
I just can't get the color to "pop" like it used to.
All suggestions would be appreciated.

Post Dead Engines - No ignition


I have a 92 Carver 534 with twin 7.4L Mercruisers. We recently had a new inverter installed and the electrician noted numerous problems with the boats electrical system that we agreed to have repaired. We replaced 4 batteries, replaced battery breaker switches, installed ACR's and rewired the main electrical panel. Before this was done the boat ran fine, we just didn't have a split bank and no way to operate 110v equipment when we were off shore power and the boat does not have an installed gens ...
